Sayeed Ikramuddin Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

I found him to be very kind and honest. He tells you the risks and answers all questions well. Very busy and always in a hurry. He requires an extensive psych eval prior to getting a surgery date, in addition to any other testing you might need like a sleep study, etc. I have not seen him since before my surgery- only his assistants, both post-op in the hospital and for follow-up appointments. His staff are great.

He was very good. He took the time to explain what choices I had, the risks and what I could expect to happen.
Its now 10 months post op and I would do it all over again in a heart beat!

I had a great first impression of Dr. Ikramuddin and that has only improved over time and after the surgery and the past year of some additional problems and having to go in for additional surgery. He is a great doctor and he seems to be geniune and very concerned with you. He has a very good bedside manner and helps to ease any anxiety that you may have.
Overall, I am not sure you could find a better surgeon!

His office staff is just OK....and someone at the front desk not ok....except for Joni. She is awesome and is so helpful and caring and will answer all your questions and will return your calls and make you feel so much better.

The things that I think the program could improve upon is giving more detailed information on all the risks. (This may have changed since I am a year out now.)More information on how to get your first labs done at 6 months so that your surgeon has the results in front of him during your appt.

Met Dr Ikramuddin on Nov 20th for about 10 minutes if that. He had a nice and concerned demenor and gave me a list of items that need to be completed before surgery.

I have to say I was impressed with Dr. Ikramuddin from the moment I met him. He has the kindest face and gentlest manner. I know I am in the best hands possible. I agree with previous posts about disorganization among office staff. Try to talk to Danette, or Joanie and you will get more help.

My first Impression of Dr.Ikramuddin is that he is a very gentle and sweet doctor. he took time on my first visit to answer questions and I did not feel rushed at all. My impression has not changed of him at all. His office staff are very busy but nice. It is hard to get a live voice over the phone. But due to the large amount of patients he has I can totaly understand. Future patients should Expect to be a little aggressive about getting a surgery date once all requirements are completed. Overall I'm very satisfied!

My first impression of Dr. Ikramuddin was surprising to me. He was not what I expected. He was friendly, direct and willing to answer all my questions which were not the usual. His staff was friendly too. At first, I expected this was like an assembly line but that didn't last long. Dr. Ikramuddin didn't act as though he was eager to go on to the next patient, he took his time and allowed me to ask all of my questions. I was impressed. The information from the doctor and staff was comprehensive and educational. It made making my final decision easier. The personal one on one with the doctor and the group orientation was obviously well put together. Overall, it releived my fears and offered me a positive outlook for surgery.
UPDATE:
Had my surgery 10-8-03 Laproscopic RNY --
Everything went wonderfuly! I am now one week post op and have been told I can eat anything that is pureed. I came home and had some chicken, mashed potatoes with cream of mushroom gravy, and carrots. Had no problems such as dumping. Best meal I ever ate! My scars hardly show and I have lost 22LBS. What more could I ask for? Dr. Ikramuddin did a wonderful job! I would recomend him to anyone considering this surgery.

He is very compassionate, loves what he is doing. It never changed he is a great guy. office staff is very professional and a caring group.It takes a while to get to see him.I would rate him a 10 out of 10, he has the best bedside manner of any doctor I no.

Dr. Ikraluddin was very professional. He presented the facts. He told us the benefits & the possible complications he also told us the likely hood of the complications.
His staff was very well put together too, they gave us a lot of information to take home & read.
There was nothing that I did not like about the Dr. He was great.
I did not hear anything about aftercare, well not much. They did talk about Dr. visit's & talked about nutrition & what would happen after surgery. I think i will learn more about that when I go in for my next appointment.
He did address the risks of surgery. The pros & cons.
I rate him very high a 10 out of 1-10. He was kind, compassionate & he listened to what I wanted.
So far his bedside manner is great, I have only read about his surgical competence.

I had my initial consult today with Dr. Ikramuddin. He seems to be very easy going and intelligent. He addressed the risks of the surgery and I know that even with the risks I still wantto have the surgery. I think I'll have a beter quality of life after I lose weight. He's very honest and takes the time to answer any questions you may have.
